Catherine Loose, Director of Fashion Catherine never leaves home without her favorite accessory, a 100 watt smile. No stranger to the fashion world, Catherine honed her extensive luxury retail knowledge spending 12 years as the public relations manager at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis. With a focus on personal brand, she leads the Style-Architects’ team of stylists and hosts seminars to help others put their best foot forward. Catherine believes the way we dress affects how we think, the way we feel, and how others perceive us. “Your personal style and brand should shine through in all aspects of your life”, says Catherine. Fashion is your way to truly express yourself, but she believes it’s finding the right mix for your life and pieces that make you look and feel wonderful that is truly energizing.

During her time at Nordstrom, Natalie used her expertise and candor to develop strong customer service. These skills led her to Hot Mama where she furthered her merchandising and management talents.
